Jane has worked in the heath service as a nurse for over 40 years with nearly all her career at Bristol Royal Infirmary. Retiring in December 2017, her last full time job was as Head of Nursing for Surgery at UH Bristol and latterly as Head of Nursing for the Chief Nurse team. With a focus on patient experience throughout her long career, one of Jane’s proudest achievements was her involvement with transferring surgical wards and ITU in the state of the art Terrell Street building at the BRI in 2014.
